About this video
How do we truly open up large language models? 🤔
In this clip, Simeng Sophia Han breaks down two leading approaches to explainability:
1️⃣ Using natural language explanations directly from the model.
2️⃣ Probing parameters and attention patterns to uncover reasoning inside.
Whether you’re a PhD student diving into interpretability, a senior researcher exploring theory, or an AI practitioner applying models in industry — this is the cutting edge of making LLMs less of a mystery.
💡 What do you think — natural language vs parameter probing: which path holds more promise?
